Spirit of Revolt: Demo cassette
New Oi!-influenced punk out of Denver.
Our take: Spirit of Revolt is a project based in Colorado but with strong North Carolina ties. One member is Montgomery Morris, who was a fixture in the NC music scene for years before he moved out west. Spirit of Revolt is a leftist oi! band. Weâve encountered a few of those over the past few years, including Hard Left and Death Ridge Boys. I donât know how I feel about the whole thing⊠I like oi! music and I sympathize with these politics, but itâs a bit like starting a Christian black metal band or something⊠the concept can get in the way of appreciating the actual tunes. While Spirit of Revolt is on the same page as the aforementioned groups conceptually and politically, their sound is different. If youâre familiar with Montgomeryâs NC bandsâparticularly Flesh Woundsâyouâll hear his fingerprints all over this, though I donât know what he plays in the band since heâs capable with at least a few different instruments, the credits on the j card are pseudonymous, and the band has no internet presence that I can find. Those hard-and-fast, clean-sounding guitars though⊠Flesh Wounds fans will be all over it. The songs run the gamut of oi! sub-styles (ranging from tougher sounding to more melodic), but I think Spirit of Revolt is at their best in the latter mode, particularly on âSeize the Meansâ and â161,â which remind me of faster 4 Skins songs like âEvil.â Fortunately thereâs plenty of musical meat underneath thes layer of ironic juxtaposition.
